Photo Editor

Overview

Rapapaing Photo Editor is a simple (i.e. non-bloated) image editor for Windows that provides the most basic tools to perform simple modifications to photos, without having to load a big program that requires a long time to load. Rapapaing Photo Editor focuses on speed and stability instead of adding lots of features that are not required by most people.

Rapapaing Photo Editor is inspired by Microsoft Photo Editor, an application no longer supported by Microsoft, which provided similar functionality, and users of Microsoft Photo Editor may find in Rapapaing Photo Editor a valuable and supported replacement for the former.
